Day 2 Chip Leader Shimizu Becomes Short-Stacked
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
David Uvaydov opened 140,000 in early position and Russ Head called in the cutoff before Takao Shimizu three-bet to 600,000 from the big blind. Uvaydov took about 30 seconds before jamming for 2,070,000, forcing Head out of the pot and Shimizu tank-called.
David Uvaydov: A?K? 
Takao Shimizu: Q?Q?
The A?9?5? flop gave Uvaydov a pair of aces and the 5? turn and 5? river improved him to fives full of aces to score the double.
